BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Park will debut in Colerain Twp. Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com

After years of standing vacant, the former Bigg’s location at Colerain Avenue and Cross County Highway is going to be jumping again. The stores closed in 2010, when Remke Markets opted to buy some stores as Biggs left the Cincinnati market. A redevelopment plan for the property is bringing a new-to-the area indoor trampoline park, Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Park, homebased in Pleasanton, California, has grown to 31 US parks and one in Thailand in since 2011, with a total of 130 US parks and 50 international parks planned by 2020. Officials from Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Parks say the venues are family-friendly, A spokesperson for the franchise said the Colerain location will and feature basketball, X-Beam, air bag jump, a Ninja course, dodge ball and open jumping. Monique Perretti, spokesperson for the franchise, says kids can wear them-

selves out on any of the fitnessfocused attractions either with or without parents and parents can have fun with the kids or hang out in the massage chair area and watch their kids on full screen monitors while they get some precious adult time with other grown-ups. “For kids over 10, they can drop them off and do a couple hours of kids free shopping or dining, it’s a win-win for everyone,” she said. Rockin’ Jump offers a variety of activities, from Rockin’ Tots – a time and jump area set aside specifically for toddlers to play or Rockin’ Fridays which is a safe alternative for teens to meet friends andsocialize to the beats of a live DJ. Rockin’ Jump offers Birthday Party and Special Event party rooms.

New tenants in the redevelopment will include Rockin’ Jump andTim Horton’s and the plans call for repurposing the Bigg’s building with six users and two new buildings. One new building fronting on Colerain Avenue will contain 9,000 square feet of retail. A secomd building will be located in the northeast comer of the property closest to Ronald Reagan Highway and will contain 10,000 square feet of space for medical use.

Facebook and cyclists help restore stolen bike Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com

Brad Gilpin owns, rides and loves bikes. They catch his eye, those bikes, and he noticed the red-orange Felt bike when he saw it. It might have been in Clifton, near the restaurant he closed in August. Or it could have been in Over-the-Rhine where he lives. Or downtown at Gilpin’s, his restaurant on Seventh Street. “I pay attention to people riding and check out their bikes,” he said. “I saw this bike many times being ridden around, and I remembered it because I love the color.” So just before Christmas, as he parked his car in OTR, that distinct red-orange flashed, a beacon for his attention. He saw a group of young men who were not the person he had seen riding that Felt surrounding it, laughing and holding it up in the air, amazed by how light it was. There were some other clues that perhaps the bike was not owned by its current rider: It was the wrong size and the rider was wearing Timberlands that didn’t fit the clip on the pedals.

OTR businessman had a feeling Felt bike was stolen “I had a feeling it might be stolen,” he said. “I love my bike and I treat it like a baby. If someone were to steal my bike, I would be miserable. I wanted to try to get it back to its owner.” So as he walked by, he complimented them on the bike. They started talking

and the group offered to sell him the bike for far below its value. He countered and they agreed. He grabbed the cash from a nearby ATM and paid for the bike. “While I was getting them their money I drilled them with questions that bikers would know,” he said. “And they had no idea.” Even more convinced someone was missing that bike, Gilpin turned to social media to find the owner, posting a photo and a history of how the bike came into his possession on a Facebook page that sells bikes and on his business Facebook page for Gilpin’s, downtown on Seventh Street.. “I don't use my restaurant social media for private use, but I know my Gilpin's following may know the owner of this bike,” he said. He was on a mission. Mark Hooton, service manager for

Campus Cyclery, thought he recognized the bike, which had been bought there. He shot out a message with a partial serial number and he and Gilpin connected. “I found the owner and it only took five hours,” Gilpin said. “I knew the biking community here in Cincy is such a tightknit community that we could find him.” Gilpin connected with the owner’s mom, Amy Weyand-Geise. Hooton had contact information for her and after she talked with Gilpin, she made arrangements to get the bike.

The owner, 18-year-old Nate WeyandGeise, didn’t know his prized possession had been found. The bike had been taken Nov. 11, and had been missing for more than a month. Nate had filed a police report, and talked with detectives, but two days before Gilpin found the bike, police told him they had no new leads and didn’t expect to continue the investigation. He had bought another bike, as he used it for transportation to UC’s College of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning from his College Hill home. “I was trying to move on,” Nate said. “But I still had this feeling that maybe I would see it, or find it somehow. There was a piece of me that kept hoping.” His mom said the call from Gilpin was miraculous. “When I got the call, I just couldn’t believe it. I was exuberant sitting at my desk,” she said.

The Weyand-Geise family was amazed at the kindness of others who helped return the bike to Nate. “I couldn’t believe how many people were engaged with this, and no one told Nate when we found the bike,” she said. “We had one close call, but the surprise wasn’t spoiled.” Amy planned to make the reunion special. “He got that bike when he was 13, and it was like his best friend. I went and picked it up a couple days later and took it to his grandparents’ home, where we celebrate Christmas,” she said. Our family watches ‘The Christmas Story’ every year, and we love that scene where the Dad says, ‘What’s that over there behind the desk?’ and Ralphie finds his BB gun. “So when all the gifts were done, we said ‘What’s that over there behind the tree?’ directing him to a Christmas tree on the porch.” And there it was. A shock of recognition hit Nate, followed by joy that brought some tears. “I knew what it was as soon as I saw it,” he said. “I didn’t know how it got there, but I knew what it was when I saw it. It was like my best friend. I rode it to Cleveland. I took it to D.C., rode it when we traveled, I just want to keep going. I am so grateful.” He said he’s biking more than ever now, alternating between the new and the old. And he and Gilpin are planning to ride together, bonded by an act of kindness and a love for biking. “I have two bikes now,” he said. “I am a rich man.”

The car also has a bullet hole, according to emergency dispatches. Police were searching for at least one male suspect. Initially, police said

they were not sure if the shooter was inside or outside the vehicle at the time of the incident. About 5 a.m., they said over a police radio that surveillance video from the gas station indicated someone got into the car there and then it traveled to Ashley Woods apartments nearby in the 2300 block of Walden Glen Circle in Colerain Township. The man who got into the car had the driver and his female passenger drive around the complex over to an area near the leasing office, where at least two suspects fired into the vehicle. The female victim got out of the car and ran away, and they saw her and kept shooting at her, according to initial emergency dispatches. She was taken to a hospital and underwent surgery. The male shooting victim’s condition was not immediately available.

Levy renewal coming The Northwest Local School District Board Of Education will bring a renewal of an emergency levy that generates $7.3 million annually in operating revenue for the district to voters on the May 2 ballot. The district is asking voters to approve a 10-year renewal period on the levy, which is allowed because of a change in state law. The homestead exemption and rollbacks remain in place if the renewal is passed, meaning no new tax on homeowners. Board members said extending the length of the levy guarantees the district that the operating funds will be there and means the district does not have to go back to voters as often. Board members said the plan also locks in the rollback and exemptions for homeowners. Board president Pam Detzel stressed this levy is different than the bond levy being used to build new schools in the district passed by voters in 2015. Bond money cannot be used for operations expenses. The levy was approved by voters in 2012 and currently costs the owner of a home valued at $100,000 about $147, according to figures from the Hamilton County Auditor’s office.

Remke Markets Helps Keep Fuel Costs Down Pat Iasillo Just the other day, it was announced that 2017 gasoline prices are forecasted to be the highest they have been in three years. This, of course, makes no sense to the common person, but we have heard some of the vast conspiracy theories blaming big oil companies and fuel retailers. However, with a little study, it turns out that the price of our fuel has many variables affecting it. First is the price of oil. The price of a barrel of oil has fallen drastically over the last couple of years. The cost of crude oil is about 67% of the overall cost of gas at the pump. Oil is a commodity traded on the commodity market. Think of oil as the stock exchange. If

that it is cutting production, which decreases supply and consequently increases price. Let us not forget the influence of the value of the US dollar. As the value falls, it takes more US dollars to purchase the same barrel of oil. Once a barrel of oil is bought, it must be refined. We have heard more than a few times where a refinery has had to shut down for maintenance or go offline because of some natural disaster. This causes the refining of gasoline to slow which, in turn, causes a shortage of fuel and a spike in prices. In addition, the government is starting to add state and local taxes on fuel. For example, at the time I wrote this article, Indiana is passing a tax increase on fuel to help pay for infrastructure. Lastly, the fuel mixture changes required by the EPA as the temperatures

a skirmish or war breaks out in an oil producing country or even if tensions rise, the price of oil can be impacted greatly as traders buy and sell their commodities. So, any tensions in the oil producing countries can be part of the reason prices increase. Another factor is the actual supply of oil. A consortium of the oil producing countries called OPEC, can agree to control supply, and keep a barrel of oil high in price so that all the participating countries see a profit. The increase in domestic production, coupled with a weaker demand for oil from Asia recently has helped the price of oil tumble over the past few years. Most recently, OPEC announced

rise are yet another variable that influences the price at the pump. These fuel mixtures require refineries to change formulations, which increase the price of fuel during the summer months. So, why does Remke Markets bring up rising fuel costs? Because Remke Markets has the easiest-to-earn and easiest-to-use fuel rewards program in the area, which can more than offset the rising costs of fuel. You will earn 1¢ per gallon for every $10 you spend in our stores (excluding alcohol, tobacco and lottery, as required by law). A fuel discount earned today will not expire for 60 days, which means you can accumulate more savings for a longer period. In addition, and best of all, you will not have to go out of your way to use your fuel discounts. Our discounts will work at any

Speedway location. There are more than 80 locations in the Greater Cincinnati area and there are now thousands of Speedway stations in 22 states, all of which are linked in real time to Remke Market’s Pump Perks Program. When you shop at our store, pay attention to the special receipt you receive that shows your current balance. All you need to do, if you have not done so already, is to link a Speedy Rewards card with your Remke Rewards card. We will be glad to help you with this. Then just use your Remke Rewards card when you shop and your Speedy Rewards card at the pump to roll back your discounts. Happy motoring!

Classes begin Tuesday, Jan. 24, and are offered from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday Butler Tech GED Prep courses are free and help you get ready for all four areas of the General Educational Development exam: English, mathematics, social studies and science. When you start the program, we will first check your skill level. Then, a customized learning plan is developed for you. Classes are in six-week sessions, but you can take the free classes as long as you need to help prepare for the exam. Also offered will be English for Speakers of Other Languages. These free adult classes are for adults who speak almost no English and for those who speak English well, but need to improve their written skills in English – and everyone in between. The classes are taught in English, so you can practice speaking it with your teacher and fellow students. They can help students prepare for a citizenship test, a driver’s test or a GED test. The classes can also help with “survival English” – how to navigate everyday life in the U.S., such as grocery shopping, going to the library, talking to schoolteachers, and more. Classes open to those 18 or older or those 16 or older if officially withdrawn from high school. Preregister at ButlerTech.org/ABLE or call 513-645-8248.

Springfield Twp. teen a finalist in ‘Hidden Figures’ contest Shauna Steigerwald ssteigerwald@enquirer.com

The movie “Hidden Figures” tells the story of three AfricanAmerican women who were NASA mathematicians and the unsung heroes of the 1960s Space Race. Despite their abilities as “computers” – yes, before the machines existed, humans had to calculate the complex equations needed to, say, launch a rocket – they struggled for recognition and opportunities. Aversa Prentosito can relate. A 15-year-old with high-functioning autism, she feels like people don’t always understand or appreciate her talents. That she’s underestimated. That’s what she wrote in her entry for “The Search For Hidden Figures,” a contest inspired by the new movie and put on by PepsiCo and 21st Century Fox. It seeks to recognize future female leaders in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Prentosito fits the bill. She’s one of 50 semi-finalists – 25 each in two age groups,13-19 and 20 and older – out of some 7,300 applicants. The Springfield Township teen was a finalist to be one of two grand prize winners, which would mean a $50,000 scholarship, among other prizes. “Hidden Figures” producers Pharrell Williams and Donna Gigliotti are among those judging entrants’ video submissions, the next step in the process, to choose the winners. What might set Prentosito apart from her competitors? As a Winton Woods High School junior, she’s taking almost all of her classes at the University of Cincinnati and Miami Univer-

sity as part of Ohio’s College Credit Plus program. A good thing, too, as she’s already taken many math and science classes available at Winton Woods: Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Honors Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus, Honors Biology, Honors Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Chemistry. And even with her course load, she’s involved in a slew of extracurriculars, from sports (varsity golf, junior varsity bowling, crew) to music (playing the saxophone in jazz band, the mellophone in pep band and the French horn in pit orchestra) to National Honor Society. How is she handling all of that? Via email, she replies that she’s currently ranked first in her junior class of almost 300 students at Winton Woods. Her weighted GPA is 4.41. The reason she’s replying via email is that despite her academic successes, she struggles in other ways. “Like most people with autism, I have difficulty with pragmatic speech and social interactions,” Prentosito writes. When she found the contest online – she’d seen previews of “Hidden Figures” and wanted to learn more about the film – it fit with her dreams for her future. She already sees STEM as a way for her and others with autism to communicate their talents. And down the road, she hopes those working in STEM fields will create new technologies for people with speech disorders. Prentosito plans to be part of that solution. She wants to major in engineering so that she can work on such technology. During her summer engineering camps and as the programmer for her school’s robotics

team, she has learned about things like “tap to talk” apps. And she thinks there’s room to advance those technologies. “There are so many people not living up to their full potential due to speaking limitations, and I hope to use STEM to give them a voice so they can transition from being ‘hidden figures’ to being fully understood and appreciated,” she wrote in her contest entry. Prentosito hasn’t seen the

movie yet – she’s waiting for her tickets to arrive in the mail, part of her prize for being a semifinalist – but she has read the book on which it’s based. Twice. “I was very inspired by the women in the book, and I identify with them because just like them, I have to work harder to be recognized,” she wrote. “People underestimated them due to their race and gender, and people underestimate me due to my autism.”

She ends her message this way. “To anyone who still thinks that having autism means you’re not that smart, I’d like them to know that I am a proud member of the Cincinnati chapter of Mensa and I just scored in the 99th percentile on the PSAT!” It’s all that much sweeter because it’s punctuated with a smiley face.

The 2017 budget for the Metropolitan Sewer District is still being debated.

No layoffs or sewer rate increase at MSD

Hamilton County’s sewer rates will not increase next year and no sewer district employees will lose their jobs, county commissioners said. The assurances came as county officials and the Metropolitan Sewer District continued to tussle over the agency’s 2017 budget, with MSD seeking a rate increase and the county arguing against it. The meeting got testy when Commissioner Chris Monzel dismissed MSD’s threat to lay off workers if its proposed budget wasn’t approved and rates didn’t go up. “There will be no rate increase,” Monzel said. “There will be no layoffs.” He then told MSD Director Gerald Checco, who floated the possibility of up to 100 layoffs last week, to send an email to all 800 sewer district employees assuring them they will not lose their jobs because of budget cuts. “I’m asking you to person-

ally take care of that so all MSD employees understand our position,” Monzel said. Checco said he would, but he also made clear he disputes the county’s view of his budget. He said the county’s utility monitor, Dave Meyer, misinterpreted MSD’s proposed budget and calculated the county’s alternative budget with numbers that don’t add up. “I continue to not understand,” Checco said after Meyer presented his budget figures to commissioners. Checco has said MSD needs a $238 million operating budget next year to run the agency and pay its debt, and a $342 million capital budget to build the sewers and pumping stations needed to comply with a $3.2 billion court-ordered overhaul of the county’s sewers. Meyer has said the agency needs a $230 million operating budget and a $300 million capital budget.

Steamed spinach with garlic and lemon A reader wanted to know how to replicate this restaurant dish. After rinsing spinach, leave a bit of water clinging to leaves. Pour a bit of olive oil into a skillet. Add a clove or 2 of minced garlic. Cook only until garlic is barely golden, don’t let it get brown/burned. Stir in several handfuls of spinach - as much as you want. Put lid on. It will wilt quickly. Squeeze a little lemon juice on, season with salt and pepper and serve. Why spinach is good for you: be strong and tame those hunger pangs The membranes in spinach leaves contain appetite-suppressing qualities. Spinach is very low in calories and high in iron, so eat up to fill up but not out! Popeye knew a thing or two, didn’t he?

This Mongolian beef stew is made in the slow cooker.

Slow-cooker Mongolian beef From Reagan Smith Knaus. Reagan and sister Mindy grew up in Cincinnati, with mom and dad Linda and Andy Smith, Anderson Township readers. Reagan and husband TJ now live in Deerfield, Illinois, and are known for their love of entertaining. Their daughter, Abby, 15, enjoys cooking with Reagan, as well. When I asked Linda if Reagan liked to cook growing up, Linda told me “not really, but when we entertained the girls knew exactly what was happening when I yelled up to them, “Mindy, Reagan, please come here a second.” Linda wanted them to garnish the food, and they learned how parsley, lemon slices or a sprig of rosemary could transform a dish. The seeds were planted and like her mom, Reagan is a creative and inquisitive cook. As Linda says “kitchens are the heartbeat of the family.” I adapted the recipe only slightly. There’s plenty of sauce to soak up the rice. 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 pounds flank steak, cut across the grain into thin strips

513-268-1186

1/4 cup cornstarch 1 generous tablespoon minced garlic 1/4 teaspoon hot red chili flakes 1/2 to 3/4 cup brown sugar - I used light brown and started out with 1/2 cup, then added a bit more 1 generous tablespoon grated fresh ginger root 2 tablespoons olive oil 3/4 cup water 3/4 cup soy sauce or more to taste 1 shredded carrot Cooked rice Green onions, sliced, for garnish

Toss steak with cornstarch to coat evenly. In sprayed slow cooker, place garlic through soy sauce and mix well. Add steak, stir to coat, and cook on high 2-4 hours, until steak is cooked through. Mine was done in 2-1/2 hours. Stir in carrots during last 30 minutes of cooking time. Serve over rice and top with onions.

The Greenhills branch of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County has turned a page with the opening of its new location at 8 Enfield St. The branch, which opened at Dec. 14, had been located at 7 Endicott St., in the village’s shopping center. When the center closed for repairs in late August, the public li-

brary’s board of trustees moved the branch to the Greenhills Community Building, which is owned by Winton Woods City Schools. The Greenhills branch is open Monday and Tuesday from noon to 8 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday from noon to 6 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The library is closed on Sunday.

Northwest district talks about five-year forecast The Northwest Local School Board recently approved the district’s five-year forecast. The board of education uses the five-year forecast as a tool to maintain fiscal stability and avoid future financial crisis. A forecast of the district’s general fund is filed with the Ohio Department of Education in May and October each year as required by the Ohio Revised Code Section 5705.391. The forecast includes the prior three-year actual, as well as the current and next four years forecasted amounts. A school district’s general fund is a fund designated to report general operations of a district that are not required to be reported in a different fund. Even though the forecast does not reflect all of the financial activity of the district, it does reflect the majority of tax dollars. The remaining tax dollars are reflected in the Permanent Improvement Fund for bus and technology replacement, building maintenance, as well as the Debt Service Fund for bond principal and interest payments. The five-year forecast is a management tool used to project this year’s budget into the future by adjusting for inflation, enrollment projections, actual and assumed

negotiated employee contract settlements, as well as other known factors. The board and administration utilize the monthly cash flow report to Amy track revenues and Wells expenditures to the COMMUNITY PRESS forecast. ModGUEST COLUMNIST ifications to budgets and/or operations are made if actual report is not trending per the forecast. Revenue estimates are based on the county’s tax valuation calculations and the state funding formula. The forecast does not include any revenue from projected tax levies not already approved by the community. Therefore, the $7.3 million emergency levy to avoid an operating deficit that ends in 2017 is not reflected in the forecasted fiscal years. Since these monies are used in current operations, the district projects to begin deficit spending in fiscal year 2018. As education is a service industry, salaries and benefits make up the majority of the districts expenditures at 76 percent. Purchased services are the next line item expenditure on the forecast. This line

item includes such things as utilities and special education as well as our students who are being educated elsewhere. $6 million annually goes out to other districts through open enrollment, community schools and voucher scholarships to parochial schools. As we continue to face limited financial resources, we continually review expenditures to make sure the community’s tax dollars are being spent in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. In addition to our focus on academics, we continue to strive to find ways to fund our district while reducing expenses and becoming more efficient. Our main goal is to ensure a high level of staff and student accountability. With the board of education’s guidance and the superintendent and CFO/treasurer’s fiscal management the district has a positive cash balance through the fiscal year 2020. Ohio District’s five-year forecast and assumptions are available to the public on the ODE website: education.ohio.gov/ Topics/Finance-and-Funding/ Five-Year-Forecast. Amy Wells is the CFO/treasurer for the Northwest Local School District.

Jan. 11 question What are you most looking forward to in your community in 2017?

“I am most looking forward to a significant reduction in my Anderson Township property taxes in 2017. But then again, I recall liking the movie ‘Pollyanna’ where the world was a very rosy and perfect place. I have come to realize that the majority of Anderson property owners dearly love to increase the amount that they are taxed at every turn they get and they vote it in. “Every time the school board cries about some perceived need, these tax-me-please people seem willing to provide huge boxes of Kleenex to help dry those tears along with great gobs of money. This has got to stop. This is what I

“I am looking forward to the completion of the road projects on Cheviot/ Blue Rock and on North Bend over I-74. I hope they keep the traffic light on West Fork at Race. I am pleased that Colerain Township (thanks in part to the Rumpke fund) can now stop charging for parking passes at their parks. I wish that fund had started years ago.” T.D.T.

La Salle works together without its top player Adam Baum abaum@communitypress.com

MONFORT HEIGHTS - An optimist might argue that a basketball team losing its best player for a couple weeks could be beneficial down the road. That’s the hope at La Salle High School. C.J. Fleming, who’s the Greater Catholic League South co-offensive player of the year and La Salle’s leading scorer, suffered a shoulder injury in the championship of the Kingdom of the Sun tournament Dec. 30 in Ocala, Florida. He’s missed three games already, and will likely miss a few more, according to his dad and La Salle coach Dan Fleming. A few weeks without the four-year starter and the No. 2 all-time scorer in La Salle history could help the rest of the Lancers improve in his absence. “It could,” said coach Fleming. “That’s what everybody tries to say that there could be some good to come out of this. I think the best thing would have been for him to be healthy and everybody play well. But, that’s not the hand we were dealt. We’re missing him for a couple weeks, it’s gonna be four, five, six games … whatever it is. “Then there’s the adjustment period when he comes back. We went through the same thing (a few years ago) with Jeff Larkin. When he came back, it took us awhile to readjust to him.” Without Fleming, a Bellarmine commit, La Salle’s gone 3-0 with wins over Elder, Roger Bacon and Purcell Marian. At print deadline Jan. 13, the Lancers (9-1) were headed to No. 1-

ranked Moeller. “It’s just some we have to figure out,” Fleming said. “We’re gonna do the best we can with it. We still gotta play (defense); we still gotta rebound. Hopefully we’ll be okay.” Everyone on the roster has had a hand in picking up the slack. Fleming said senior guards Tre Crigler and Da’Meak Brandon have really elevated their play at both ends of the floor. The Lancers, at times, have even gone with both big men — 6-foot-6 Joe Hartmann and 6-foot-7 Josh Whyle — on the floor at the same time, something Fleming said they probably wouldn’t do with his son healthy. “I’d say Tre … playing wise, Da’Meak has,” Fleming said, referring to who’s stepped up. “He’s got more minutes so he obviously has gotten bigger numbers. Riley Haubner’s done a good job of taking the ball out of bounds. Against Roger Bacon, he made three great out-ofbounds passes for layups or easy baskets. That’s six points and we only won by nine. We think taking the ball out of bounds is a very important part of the game.” Offensively, Fleming’s absence has been noticeable, with the Lancers having three different leading scorers (Hartmann, Crigler, Brandon) in all three wins without him. But it’s been the defense that’s allowed La Salle to keep winning. “These guys have really pressured the ball well,” Fleming explained his defense. “Really, they’ve become a very cohesive defensive team. Defense is a group effort. Every-

one always says offense, everybody’s gotta do this and this. Defense is the same thing. You have to pressure, you have to take away the next pass, you have to talk, you have to front and you have to give weak-side help. The first week of the season we were not very good, but since that week we’ve really

come around and gotten better defensively. “I’d just like to have all 10 guys healthy, playing together at one time. We haven’t had that yet this year.” The Lancers will get their leader back, eventually. In the meantime, the plan is fairly simple: get better each day.

“Hopefully get better today,” said Fleming. “It’s a daily process. One day’s not any more important than the next. Whether we won by 20 or 30 or struggled last night, we’re gonna practice. We go to Moeller … if they beat us, they beat us. If we win we’re still gonna be ready for practice on Monday.”

DePaul Cristo Rey hoops off to historic start Adam Turer Enquirer contributor

For a program as young as DePaul Cristo Rey’s, it’s not a surprise to see records being broken. The Bruins are off to historic start to the 201617 season. Never before had the Bruins been five games above .500 at any point in a season. DePaul Cristo Rey had never before won six of its first seven games. The Bruins had never beaten Miami Valley Christian Academy or New Miami. DePaul Cristo Rey entered the holiday break at 6-1, tied for first place atop the Ohio Valley Christian Conference (8-1 as of Jan. 13). This is a season of many firsts for the program. Randy Cornelius, formerly an assistant, is now the varsity head coach. The Bruins are playing in the newly formed OVCC for the first time. The team’s home gym has been dubbed the Bruin Cave, and it has been rocking early this season. “It’s not just the students, teachers, and administrators,” said Cornelius. “Former players coming back are excited about the start. The whole school and community is excited.” Two years ago, the Bruins made a run to the semifinals of the Ohio Christian School Athletic Association state tournament. That energized the program, but the games themselves were a disappointment. This year’s

team is determined to return to the state final four and avenge those losses. “We still have a few of those kids who had that experience. It helped a lot, going through that,” said Cornelius. “Even though we went up there, we didn’t do very well. Our kids feel like we have to get back and do a lot better.” This year’s squad is a blend of players who contributed to that run, plus transfers who have arrived since and a group of DePaul Cristo Rey seniors who decided to try out for the team this year. Junior Delando Little leads the team and conference with 18.5 points per game. Three seniors who did not play last year came out for the team this year. One played as a freshman, but the other two did not try

out until this year. The team’s chemistry has been one of its best assets this year. “We go 12 strong. All 12 play in just about every game,” said Cornelius. “The biggest thing is that our mixture of kids is meshing. Kids from the final four team, transfers, and newcomers. All three groups have meshed. The biggest thing we worried about in the beginning was how would they mesh. So far, it’s been great.” Just like the players, the coaching staff has meshed, too. Cornelius still relies on his cousin, Gary Makin, the junior varsity head coach. He added Jeff Birkofer to his staff this year. The players bought into the coaches’ system in the summer and the results have been immediate.

“I have been coaching at the school since 2012. The talent level, unselfishness, and willingness to learn is at a level I have not seen before,” said Makin. “The competitiveness in practices has taken the team to a new level. The Bruins are now a family and that makes them that much stronger.” The tallest player is 6-2 senior captain Cam Mulligan, a four-year varsity

starter. He leads the team with 7.8 rebounds per game. The Bruins make up for their lack of team height with relentless defense that is bolstered by the team’s athleticism and depth. If they’re not playing intense man-to-man, they are in a trapping zone that often flummoxes opponents. “Defense has been the biggest improvement. We’re always moving,”

said Cornelius. “We have a lot of kids who can score, but all 12 are playing very good defense. If you don’t play defense in our system, you don’t play.” The Bruins are hoping that their defense and camaraderie will continue to carry the program to new heights. They want to bring the OCSAA state title to the school on Clifton Hills Avenue.

Contact lenses may be easier to buy, thanks to FTC rule Demand for contact lenses has been growing over the past decade and there are more places than ever for consumers to shop for them. A Federal Trade Commission investigation found many consumers are not able to take advantage of all that competition because of actions taken by some lens prescribers. The FTC is proposing a rule amendment to make sure patients receive a copy of the contact lens prescription once the contact lens fitting is completed. The proposed amendment requires lens prescribers to get a signed acknowledgment from the patient after providing a copy of the prescription. The prescriber would have to keep a copy of the signed acknowledgment for at least three years. The Commission says, based on evidence reviewed by its staff, too many prescribers have failed to follow the law and provide portable

prescriptions. It says more than 40 million U.S. consumers Howard Ain can benefit from HEY HOWARD! contact lens competition. Consumers can get their contact lenses inperson, from eye-care providers, optical chains, wholesale clubs, and online as well. This rule makes sure consumers have the option to shop around for better prices or more convenient refills. Many people have switched from one-year lenses to daily disposable lenses. Prices for lenses can vary widely, but without a prescription it’s hard for consumers to shop around for the best price, service and convenience. In fact, without the pressure of comparison shopping, the FTC says retail sellers are less likely to compete on price.

The FTC says the Contact Lens Rule makes manufacturers more likely to develop a range of products that consumers want and can afford. It says there’s also a health and safety risk to less competition. “When replacement lenses and other products are too expensive or difficult to obtain, more people tend to over-use their old lenses and solutions in ways that can lead to eye infections,” the FTC says. The FTC says it is seeking comments on its proposed rule amendment and will have more information on it in the coming months. In the meantime, it’s important to remember the Contact Lens Rule in effect now does require prescribers to give you a written copy of your prescription so you can take it and shop around.

NASA astronaut will lead expanded 2017 ReelAbilities Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Rich Clifford made United States history as the first NASA astronaut to have conducted a six-hour spacewalk while docked to an orbiting space station…and he successfully completed that mission while keeping perhaps one of NASA’s most significant secrets. He was newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease prior to take off. Clifford and his incredible story will lead a long list of nationally recognized personalities and feature films for a unique Hollywood-style celebration of humanity and differences at the greatly expanded 2017 Cincinnati ReelAbilities Film Festival organized by LADD Inc., March 9 to 12 – one of the largest film festivals in the country that is expected to draw some 10,000 visitors to the Duke Energy Convention Center.

PROVIDED

The Rain Barrel Art Project is a joint effort of Save Local Waters.

All artists, including students and seasoned professionals, are invited to apply to be part of the fifth annual Rain Barrel Art Project, an initiative designed to educate the community about water conservation and pollution caused by storm water runoff.

mit artistic designs to beautify otherwise dull rain barrels that are then displayed at the Cincinnati Zoo and auctioned off to raise funds for conservation education. “We are so grateful to the artists who’ve contributed to this project in the past. Their efforts to make otherwise plain rain barrels appealing to the eye have allowed us to raise awareness and encourage the use of rain barrels,” said John Nelson, a Save Local Waters representative and public relations specialist. “Rain

barrels are a great tool for conserving water and saving money, and through the Rain Barrel Art Project we’ve so far been able to place about 200 beautiful rain barrels at homes and businesses throughout the Ohio River Valley area.” Artists who wish to submit a design for consideration must do so by Jan. 20, through an online form at www.savelocalwaters.org, where additional instructions can be found. Designs will be selected and announced at the end of January. Artists whose designs are selected will be asked

to attend an artist workshop on Feb. 11 to pick up their rain barrels and learn techniques for applying their design. Finished rain barrels must be returned between March 30 and April 1. They will remain on display at the Cincinnati Zoo until April 20, when they will be auctioned off to the highest bidder during the zoo’s Party for the Planet event. For more information regarding the Rain Barrel Art Project or Save Local Waters, contact John Nelson at 772-7645 or visit www.savelocalwaters.org/2017-project.

Artifacts from Cincinnati Museum Center branching out Cincinnati Museum Center is branching out to libraries across Hamilton County and into Clermont County as part of their Curate My Community initiative. Historic artifacts and scientific specimens will be installed in several branches of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County and the Clermont Country Public Library throughout the month. Amongst the CMC collection items moving to new locations are a collection of paleobotany specimens, items excavated from 19th century privies, brewing artifacts, Ordovician fossils and a collection of drawing tools that once belonged to architect Samuel Hannaford. In total, nearly 200 collection items will be installed in 18 library branches in the month of December. Additional branches in both Hamilton and Clermont counties will receive artifacts over the next several months. With the temporary closure of the Cincinnati History Museum and Museum of Natural History & Science to facilitate extensive repairs and restoration to Union Terminal, Cincinnati Museum Center is bringing those museums to you. Iconic pieces of Cincinnati’s natural and manmade history, and staples of Cincinnati childhoods, will continue to educate and delight visitors, albeit in new locations. As our home undergoes its restoration, Cincinnati Museum Center’s mission will continue with gusto. “The Curate My Community initiative is our opportunity to take the museum into the community and share our collections, research and inspiration with new audiences,” said Elizabeth Pierce, president and CEO of Cincinnati Museum Center. “Partnering with the library system is a great way to inspire curiosity and to allow books and tangible objects to complement each other as people thirst to learn more.”

Various eras of Cincinnati’s natural and man-made history will come to life through artifacts and scientific specimens. The Greater Cincinnati region is world-renowned for its extensive collection of Late Ordovician fossils, a sampling of which will be on display in Bond Hill and Goshen. Arrow points, knives and tools made from animal bone will give a glimpse into the lives of the Native American people who called Madisonville home between 1400 and 1650. Medicine bottles, beer bottles and dinnerware excavated from privies, late 19th century outhouses, will be on display at several branches, using discarded items to turn back the clock on everyday life. The drawing tools of architect Samuel Hannaford, of Music Hall and City Hall fame, will be on view at the Clifton branch. And no history of Cincinnati is complete without talking about beer. Brewery artifacts from 19th century brewers including Christian Moerlein, John Hauck and the Lion Brewery will also be on display. A sampling of the CMC collection items that can be found at local library branches: Cheviot Amongst the collection of nine artifacts excavated from a 19th century privy are a clear glass milk bottle from the French Bros. Bauer Co. and a glass bottle from the Hick’s Capudine Co,, which was used to relieve headaches and reduce fever. Green Township A 1940 Crosley Model 18AN radio, made by the Crosley Radio Corp., the largest radio manufacturer in the world at the time, is on display. Westwood Items on display include artifacts excavated from a 19th century privy such as glassware, porcelain and a medicine bottle from Foertmeyer Pharmacy, which was founded by a graduate of the Cincinnati College of Pharmacy at the end of the 19th century.
